Surprisingly, this story is getting major play on the news networks tonight. So...Sandy...exactly how much did you steal to cover Clinton's ass? Your own ass? Perhaps a little inside info for your new "informal" employer, John Kerry?
The stunner is that he actually admits to taking classified information out of the room, by stuffing it in his pants! All you Dems are perfectly happy to come up with conspiracy theories about the Bush administration with little or no evidence to back up your claims. Now it's our turn, and we've got an admission of guilt already.

AP: Clinton Adviser Probed in Terror Memos
By JOHN SOLOMON
WASHINGTON - President Clinton's national security adviser, Sandy Berger, is the focus of a Justice Department investigation after removing highly classified terrorism documents and handwritten notes from a secure reading room during preparations for the Sept. 11 commission hearings, The Associated Press has learned.
Berger's home and office were searched earlier this year by FBI agents armed with warrants after he voluntarily returned documents to the National Archives. However, still missing are some drafts of a sensitive after-action report on the Clinton administration's handling of al-Qaida terror threats during the December 1999 millennium celebration.
Berger and his lawyer said Monday night he knowingly removed handwritten notes he had made while reading classified anti-terror documents at the archives by sticking them in his jacket and pants. He also inadvertently took copies of actual classified documents in a leather portfolio, they said.
"I deeply regret the sloppiness involved, but I had no intention of withholding documents from the commission, and to the contrary, to my knowledge, every document requested by the commission from the Clinton administration was produced," Berger said in a statement to the AP.
Lanny Breuer, one of Berger's attorneys, said his client has offered to cooperate fully with the investigation but had not yet been interviewed by the FBI or prosecutors. Berger has been told he is the subject of the criminal investigation, Breuer said.
There are federal laws strictly governing the handling of classified information, including prohibiting the unauthorized release or removal of such materials.
Berger served as Clinton's national security adviser for all of the president's second term and most recently has been informally advising Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry. Clinton asked Berger last year to review and select the administration documents that would be turned over to the commission. |

Surprising my ass! Anything that involves Clinton, esp. in a negative light, is exposed a thousand-fold more times than Bush will EVER get exposed for in this conservative-cooperate slanted media. Need I remind everyone, yet again, that Bill Clinton's "draft dodging" merited 13,641 major news stories, while GW Bush's desertion merit only 49 prior to the 2000 election?

The stunner to me is that when caught, this guy actually admits it. Quite a contrast to folks in the Bush Administration.

Either you refuse to read or refuse to acknowledge the information against your conservative President, which I have clearly brought forth here in the past. Bush's lies, distortions, cover-ups and undying desire for secrecy are legion, but that is certainly another issue.
As for Berger, I'm absolutely disgusted with his behavior, and I hope he is prosecuted to the fullest extent. I would like to know what specific documents he supposedly "accidentally" destroyed.
My response to Berger "accidentally" destroying records is the same as that coincidental, "accidental" destroying of Bush's military records during his 3 month absence:
RIIIIIIGHT!
I find that very few events with politicians are accidental.
But speaking of missing records, anyone know why Bush still refuses to release ALL of the Clinton counter-terrorist records to the 9/11 Commission? |

The NY Times, the LA Times, and the Washington Post all buried the story today several pages into its first section. Page A17 in the NYT - a virtual wasteland for news. Wow...it's a good thing the media isn't liberal. :rolleyes: |

Ok, I read the story, as it appeared in the portal of the AOL welcome screen. I wont say I dont find it fishy, but what would he be hiding?!?!.. How Clinton protected the US from Al Quaide in 2000?? cause as far as I know, thats what he did. Secondly, this guy Berger admits taking them as a way to research and read through, and turn in useful information to the commission, with no intents of hiding them or stealing.. and he also mentions that when said that documents were missing, he rapidly brought them back, except for three that he did not find. Well, Im yet to see what this unfolds to..
Thirdly.. you should have gone totally mad when Bush denied releasing the documents regarding prio 9.11 to the commission.. you should judge those actions as much as this shouldnt you?. |
